Hi Noraly.I'm a 74 year old who is pretty much housebound.Your videos make me feel like I'm riding along with you.Thank you so very much.
Me too
❤️
I am another 70 plus that have been enjoying all her riding since she was in SouthAmerica; she is amazing girl.
.
been here for since the start ... its getting better and better
If there's ever an award for the best travel and adventure series, this would win hands down. For me certainly, each episode is most anticipated.
Me too...but I am just starting series III so this is cheating!
Seeing Bison is great!! Eating some Bison is great too!!
I feel the same. I smile each time my notifications tell me there's a new Noraly vid.
I fully agree with your comment, here, re. Noraly's motorcycles travel videos.
I think you’re on to something. Maybe UTube does something similar to Academy Awards. I’ll nominate the Itchy series!
My 80-year old father started sharing with me about his enjoyment in watching your videos. He asked me if I’ve heard of “Itchy Boots.” My perplexed facial expression informed him I was not [familiar]. He then explained some of the obstacles Noraly faced in the episode he just watched, along with several more adventures, and then an Itchy Boots history lesson. He piqued my interest to the point I watched a few episodes and now I am obsessed as well. This has led to a new common bond for my father and me to share. Considering the age gap, cultural changes in society, technology, etc., and the fact he is deaf (we use sign language to communicate, not just hearing loss due to his age), finding new experiences for the father/daughter bond is rare indeed. When my father and I talk about Itchy Boots, it’s as if his entire being is smiling and beaming from head to toe. Therefore, thank you Noraly for sharing your journey.
That's a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing. In my case, I have been watching Itchy Boots episodes since almost the begining and I did the same your father did. I have involved my daughter into this passion and we ended up both buying the same original bike (Royal Enfield Himalayan) Noraly had when she started her world adventure in India. And here we are, sharing together adventures on great dirt roads in Argentina :-)
@@phil22 Thank you for sharing your, and your daughter’s, story of adventure and father-daughter bond. It is endearing how Noraly’s adventures incite an “itch” in her viewers to get outside and do something. ❤️ Bendiciones!
Thank you for sharing this story about your Dad. Our dad's used to love hearing about Noraly's adventures. They are both now in spirit but I always smile when I hear how far the Itchy Boots vibe travels! Very uplifting and inspirational. 😀
Amazing videos and amazing comments. Nederland so great.
@@Creativehealing444 🙏🏼❤️
Hello again, side note: My son-in-law Greg Davidson built the TUFF SHED for the frozen dead guy, and the sign over the door is signed by the guy who builds each shed, ( on the back of the TUFF SHED Sign) is signed by Greg.
Noraly moving her eyebrows inside the helmet trying to convince the guy into letting her go or showing her another route is my favorite thing today!
I spotted that too. Noraly flirting, whoever would have thought that.
but he didn't budge, too bad.
She is 35 and has been around the block .. and knows when to turn it on .. thats good !! 😃
Yea, she wanted him to say the magic words ‘open sesame…’
@@julianolivas5812 35??? I thought shes 46 or somewhere near that range
As someone who works in a closet-sized office with no windows, your videos are breath of fresh air during my lunch breaks. From all of us on the internet, thank you, Noraly 😊
I echo your sentiments. Noraly makes Monday, Wednesday and Friday bearable.
I worked in a fast paced demanding job but would go to a tree lined street with a stream and put my feet in the water while listening to the water. It energized me for the afternoon and gave me peace for a while.
Offices w/o at least one window should NOT be allowed (I think that's the code in EU, but pls correct me). It's been known for yrs that such claustrophobic workspaces are socio-mental traps that significantly reduces productivity (and work is 99% productivity).
Also no-window bedrooms should be banned. However, I have no comments on the (re-)productivity aspects ... haha.
Yes, she certainly is a positive note in today's world!! I wish there were more people like her around...looking for the good in every road, no matter what, even when having to backtrack nearly 2 hours, rain or shine, or digging out of mud, she finds a way to not be stuck, in attitude or life. We can all take a good look at how one does that, and live better lives! A true example of courage, positivity and plain old joy! Thank goodness!!! The influence just one person can have can change so much for so many. Good on her!
@@Carol-vv5cm That sounds lovely! Unfortunately, any bodies of water around me have snakes in them and the Texas heat is not pleasant this time of year, haha. I try to to take breaks when I can and go to the front of my building where there are windows.
No one expresses the sense of joy and wonder of discovery like Noraly... "OH! Are those bison?" The joy she expresses always brings a smile to her face. So pleased she is enjoying her time in the U.S.
Yeah, I had the same reaction. Noraly displays such an appreciation for life. Good lesson to not take anything for granted :)
Yes, that's what captivates us. "Pippi Perterson" RV travels is another.
Difference between Bison and Buffalo? Can't wash your hands in a Buffalo.
@@texasrancher9318 I was going to say the same thing!
@@leod4315 huh?
What great scenery on this ride! The mailboxes are like that because the mailman isn't going to drive down several mile long driveways to deliver mail to a ranch. It's common to see mailbox rows in any rural area in the US.
The middle of nowhere is where the people live.
May be letters from dead frozen
Exactly, all the people live nearby but they live up in the hills or down long roads and it would take the mailman so much time and energy not to mention him maybe not even being able to get to some of those houses or ranches so they put them all at the bottom of the hill and the homeowners go and get their mail from there.
Mailman do not travel on private roads or common right of ways. In a few locations they do deliver by horse back and pack mule
Yep.. or at the bottom of the mountain like where I live.
I'm a native born Wyoming-ite, from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Thank you so much for traveling through my home state. I have a dear friend who lives in Drake, Colorado and one of our first dates he took me to the "Nederland Dead Guy Festival, so fun! I hope you can travel through part of the Big Horn Mountains, it's the best kept secret in all of Wyoming! My Mother was born in Basin, Wyoming and as a young girl rode her horse helping her brothers on roundups of cattle and horses in the Big Horns. I've followed your channel for 3 years, watched every single one of your YT posts. I swear, I live vicariously through your channel. Thank you. Thank you for visiting my home state.
Wyomingite here as well... Indeed the big horns are beautiful..... I am from eastern Wyoming AKA near Nebrasky and I absolutely love Hells Halfacre over here
Top Post! 😊
My 98 year old Mother loves your videos and looks forward to watching them every week. She and her family have camped all over the United States and especially love the west, so it is a joy to see you there now.
You should get her a Itchy Boots hoody to wear while watching👢👀😀😀😀📺
The escalators
@@beakittelscherz5419 Good idea.
Hey thanks😎and Greetings from Germany. My dear Friend and Neighbor for 12years died last year... She was 93. And I always tried to cheer her up, especially when she lived in nursing home at the end. A very good way is to send letters or post. Bc nobody does that any more. I am a Carpenter and hobby wood turner, and had a little woodshop with my Lathe in her late husband's garage. So I made her a bunch of spinning tops, and in the evenings we sometimes would sit in her kitchen, playing with them on a tray..
Good memorys. I guess what I wanted to say is this: you could make some Screenshots and arrange them online for some Itchy boots Postcards. then send her one every week. I know this would be fun for you both! Sharish the time you have together! 😉😀👍
Oh my, seeing all those mailboxes reminded me of where I lived 40 years ago. Where I lived, everyone was so completely remote from everyone else that the U.S. Mail couldn't take all the routes to all the different houses.... it would just take way too long. So, we put our mail boxes in one central location to make it easier on the mail delivery. My box was one of over 50!
Just like Australia
Dutch post is same in the fishing villages; y'all just have less elevation in Holland hiding the homes. Gr8 journey progress.
rural Canada is the same setup.
I saw the sign in Nederlands, CO, as she was going by that it was founded in 1874. It made me remember a saying that perfectly captures the different perspectives of many travelers in the US. "Europeans think 100 miles is a long way, and Americans think 100 years is a long time."
Lolz you should come down to our Archeology Sites. Europeans think the Romans and Greeks were a long time ago.
Smoothest comment if the day .
@@jaybernal3457 It seriously pisses me off. Most People are under the delusion that the oldest town in Colorado is from the 1800's while there are several Pueblo Ruins dating back 10,000 yrs
@@MrRourk "Most People are under the delusion that the oldest town in Colorado is from the 1800's while there are several Pueblo Ruins dating back 10,000 yrs"
Ten thousand years ago it was not "Colorado". If you want to honor earlier occupants, you ought to use the name they gave it.
My sense of history perspective or horizon was re-calibrated when I went to Iceland and stopped briefly at the farm Drangur where reportedly, Eiric Rauthi (Eric the Red) killed someone and fleeing justice took ship westward and discovered Greenland. That was about the year AD 950. Also, the hot pool at the front door of Snorri Sturluson's house; he wrote the sagas in or about AD 1130 and the stone-lined pool is still there and the water is very hot. So is the semi-buried sod house but of course the sod will have been rejuvenated many times since then.
Your ability to stay calm when faced with a problem is admirable, and you can see that rub-off on the people you interact with. No matter how disappointing, everyone ends up happy, and the alternative routes always seem to add some unexpected magic to the journey.
Having traveled the USA a bit I'll say that being flexible in your travels is the best way to enjoy life.
The Serenity Prayer DIRECTLY applies.
Yeah, I need to learn that behaviour. I would say nasty words in same situations but Noraly remains calm every time. I like that. :D
She’s Swedish I think, or similar.
@@4316rodney Dutch.
Love your travel videos! I’m 66 year old Grandma who refuses to give up her Suzuki 0200 DR, Dual Sport! When I watch your videos, I feel the movement being a rider of over 35 years! When you hit snow, ice or sand, bad roads, etc. I FEEL IT TOO! You are awesome!
Love the way Noraly researches the areas she visits and educates us with facts and stories about the area.. ONE of the reasons I feel this is the BEST Moto-travel channel on youtube..
I've always admire persons like Sue. When she saw you in trouble with the route she immediately get into her knees to help you out and pointing the best route to go.. Amazing Lady.
And she can read a map.
As an ex Colorado resident 2000 the folks that moved from California were very forward compared to the locals. Not always correct but they try
@@kregyung4604 she didn't, but the fact that she was willing to help, is an act for appreciation.
I thought she was going to Yellowstone? That’s the best park anywhere! How far was she from there I wonder?
Good onya Sue
I love that you shared some of the Nederland nutty trivia. The frozen dead guy stuff I had me laughing out loud. We were there last Saturday ourselves. Glad you loved our state. Ride safe Noraly!
I'm glad it's a frozen dead guy and not a frozen live guy
@@pbmuk When they eventually thaw him out won't they be surprised he is ... still dead 😵 from real serious frostbite 🥶? Somebody is making good money from that scam 😎
@@sjoerdbakker6040 Since the family pays to keep him iced down does that give them a citizen in the states to visit 🤔
Excellent that his name is "Frozen Dead Guy" and he doesn't have a fancy nickname that some marketer invented. Shows the Nederlanders have a great sense of humour.
@@1STGeneral No, the dead guy was never an American citizen, as far as I can tell. Citizens of Norway don't need a visa to visit the US, but living there is another matter.
The mailboxes are called Rural Routes and in the US countrysides our letter carriers don’t have time to go up everyone’s 2 mile driveways to the house so we all walk or drive down to these drop-off points. Mine was about a half mile from our house. Keep on riding-
Great information. I'm from the US, but was also puzzled by them. City boy. 😂
It's not just a us thing. You see it all over europe in remote areas too. Just not in the Netherlands, because nobody has a two mile driveway. The closest thing to it is the entrance of an apartment building with a wall of mailboxes.
The letter carriers of course are driving a car or a pickup truck for a stipulated daily payment and it would add up to a fortune in fuel and many hours to deliver the few letters and more advertising mail to the remote ranch houses which may be twenty or more km from the main road .
These rows of many mailboxes are also common at the entrances to mobile home parks to simplify life for the mail deliverers . Many remote ranchers solve their mail reception by renting a post office box in the nearest small town and go pick it up maybe once a week . Most will have internet connection now so it is not greatly urgent business in the mail . An added factor is the proliferation of city people moving out into backcountry rural settings in order to " be off the grid " or to " work remotely " at an office job .Others see it as an escape and survival strategy to prepare for the social upheaval and anarchy they fear is coming . Houses are popping up in the unlikeliest locations so when a forest fire or range fire erupts out of control they often enough get burned out .
Sorry, but i couldn't resist..... "Hello Neuman,,,"
Lots of folk in dire straits or discomfort like me, stuck in 'wheelbarra' who wouldn't miss a single episode. Getting old isn't cool, but Noraly you make me feel 18 once more, for that I bless you. Thanks for every episode.
Here again we see Noraly's calm disposition when there appears to be a roadblock. Unfazed, she soldiers on with characteristic wonder and excitement and enthusiasm. Stay well stay safe.
was hoping noraly would sweet talk the maintenance worker into letting her thru.
Her enthusiasm is without parallel - but i wonder how much is edited for our benefit
@@julianolivas5812 I would like noraly to include a bit more of interaction with locals, that would be super interesting !
Your excitement for seeing bison was incredible. We sometimes take for granted the beauty of this country. Enjoy your ride and see you next time.👍
Wait until she sees a large bull moose and a grizzly and the wolves...
That´s true with any country. It needs the eyes of a stranger to fully see it´s beauty in detail.
@@mikeschlup5279 or a bull elk
Spending 30 minutes watching your video seems like only 5 minutes. Waiting for your next video seems like weeks instead of days. I am calling this the Itchy Boots Theory of Relativity. 😃
No boulder hopping today! Wow, road blocked with a boulder as big as a van! The route you found was amazing. The scenery was beautiful. Glad you found the nice small town to stay in. The lady was so nice and complimentary of the Netherlands! Turned out to be an amazing ride, with great aerial footage. Can’t wait to see more of Wyoming! Ride safe Noraly!
American people should be very proud to live in such a beautiful country. Noraly you are doing such a great job showing us diferent views.
As a USAF vet of 12 years who lived in Europe for 6 years and SE Asia for 4 years, it was my last two years and my years as a civvy on assignment traveling the US that had more impact on me.
I can safely say we are all proud of the country and in particular, all it has to offer with regard to the travel/scenery/environments.
@@janus3555 Yeah the US is pretty and totally rotten at the same time.
I SO love your attitude and spunk. Besides having the amazing ability to just roll with the change of plans and make good of a ‘disappointing’ situation, you always attract lovely people Noraly. Rock on ! 👍👍
19:30 The mailboxes are grouped on the main road because the mailman cannot get to the resident's small roads in the winter. The smaller roads are not plowed in the winter, only the main road is plowed.
Plus they are likely private roads on a ranch. Mailmen are not allowed to drive on private roads or driveways. Public roads only.
question: those mailboxes is people living like ted kaczynski? in small cabins out of the grid?
Rural delivery. Common place still .
@@freddygarcia3049 Not really - they are likely ranchers, and their drives may be between 2 and 10 miles long. Most of them are compounds, with fairly large homes and living quarters for the employed ranch hands, along with buildings for equipment and in some cases horses. They may have shops to repair needed equipment or fabricate items for horses. Most have electric and perhaps gas, so not off grid totally, but likely run from well water and septic systems instead of a water main and sewer system. Likely no cable or internet, some may have cell coverage.
@@susie2251 mailbox is place on start of private road or driveway as in everywhere, so that is not the issue! the problem is range or their driveway might be a few miles off dirt/gravel road! there is no way USPS is going to waste gas and time for single delivery, so either group of mailbox on main intersection or pickup your mail at your local post office
I love how you travel! You get to see the REAL country, not the touristy BS that most people flock to. I always enjoyed random drives around the US West. Was a period of time when on a long weekend, we'd crawl in the truck, and use a set of dice to determine our directions. That kept it interesting now and then. Keep doing what you do!
@@harddocs Me too. Plus I loathe touristy destinations and large crowds! Can take the kid off the Rez, but you can't get the Rez out of the kid! heh heh heh In most cases I'd rather be surrounded by wild animals than people!
@@UncleBildo Amen . Can never understand why people take their kids and families to generic tourist places... ie Disneyworld etc.. Maybe once... yet people spend their whole lives doing " generic".. when the magic is ALWAYS away from the crowds and off the beaten path :)
@@angeltravelstheworld Right? Sorta like living on drive thru food 100% of life. Just can't be healthy!
we do that all the time - follow any road that looks interesting ... wherever the heck we wind up we just push "home" on the GPS and off we go ... a great drive with absolutely no navigation!
Beautiful day, beautiful ride. Boulders and bison, snow-capped mountains, rushing rivers.... and a wonderful host. No one could ask for more. Well, also looked like a great burger at the Saloon! Happy trails, Noraly.
Noraly is one happy puppy in this episode. I can imagine. This shows again what can happen if you have to improvise on your original travel plans. Wonderful dirt roads and spotting Buffalo. You can feel and hear her exitment. By the way, what a strange story about the iceman in Nederland. I am astonished how you manage to almost always find a story behind te places you stay. As always looking forward to the next one 😊👍
My wife and I have been so inspired by your adventures off the beaten path. How excited we were to see you visit our home state of Colorado, and especially Nederland, as we live just down the hill and I like to explore a lot of the dirt roads around that town. To see the familiar through the lens of a traveler as yourself has given us new found appreciation for what we have at home.
I was lucky enough to visit Wyoming from the UK back in 1988. Fell in love with the wide open space, its beauty and its people. One day I will be back
Noraly whipping out her best eyebrow moves to sweet-talk her way over the pass. lol.
If I would have been there,, I would have spoken with the supervisor, and told him we had a famous biker coming through and filming a famous Western Hemisphere ride, and requested a special escort to the other side of the blocked curve, or beyond.
And also ask if they might be willing to show Noraly the process of how they were going to move the boulder. 🇺🇸
Good driving what you do
It's amazing how you can turn a closed road into a even better ride
“Taking a detour today, it’s a bonus”, “more fun”. You are the best, Noraly!
My heart sank a little when I saw the extent of that wildfire damage; our neighbors to the north in Canada have been dealing with the worst fire season they've ever had. That lovely woman at the end though just put a huge smile on my face. Guess you never know where you'll run into a fan of the Netherlands.
Hee hee I’m happy! That’s our Noraly…finding a dirt trail to appease the disappointment of the ride through Rocky Mt Park. You always find so much good in everywhere you go. The bison were a cool bonus. Loved the encounter with the nice lady and the cuteness of Centennial.!
My hobbies include having a quick peek in RUclips on M-W-F around noon to see if Noraly has posted a video to make sure she is OK, even if I cant watch the episode until later that night.
Same here.
Wow, what a ride again . Interesting about the "devide", loved the info you give about every place you go. The further you travel the more exiting it gets , America have a lot of hidden gems it looks like. Travel safe.
In a lot, but not all, places it's marked with a road sign.
There is a hiking trail which follows the Continental Divide all the way from Mexico to Canada. It's considered the most difficult of long distance hikes you can do in the US.
I grew up on the divide in the Rockies in Canada. It was always fascinating to me because on both sides of the divide in this area there are several lakes thus rivers flowing out from them. The lake that backs right up to the divide on the east side has a river flowing towards the east and the lake immediately next to it, but on the west side of the divide has a river coming out of it that flows west. Yet unless one was cognizant of that fact, they would never know they just crossed the continental divide.
Home of the Panthers is almost certainly refering to their High School's mascot. The mail boxes along the road were probably for home sites along the dirt road you drove up. The USPS doesn't deliver to the door in many rural areas where it is miles between houses along unpaved roads which can be impassable during bad weather.
One thing i see that hasn't changed there since i traveled through the states are the awesome people especially in the small towns just amazing and friendly , so cool N thanks for bringing us this epic trip !!!!!
You're in my part of the world now-- Welcome!! One thing I noticed (again)in today's video is that in western states especially (where there are long distances between towns) people tell you how much TIME it will take to get somewhere instead of miles/km. You don't hear "it's 100 miles to so-and-so"; you hear "it's an hour and half from here to there". Sometimes 50 miles might take an hour and a half, sometimes 150 miles will take that same time. REALLY IMPORTANT-- don't pet or take selfies with the bison, moose, elk, wolves, or bears (LOL) !!!!! Each year some visitors in national parks walk right up to very large WILD animals then can't understand when they end up in the hospital after being attacked...unbelievable. Safe Travels. ENJOY the scenery and western hospitality!!
Yeah, I thought it was only Californians who gave distance by how much time...." how far is LA from here???? ... oooh, about 1- 2 hrs, depending on traffic ".... typical answer.....Ha,ha,ha.. we're not alone....thanks for pointing that out.....🙂😁😂🤣♥️♥️♥️
Edit: sooo true about the animals....they're not pets.....during Summer, Emergency rooms are crowded with animal attacks...🙂♥️🇺🇸.
You got it. Cheers!
@@kaypee4704 we do it Texas too but it doesn’t depend on traffic it is dependent on how fast you are driving. 😂
The YNP visitor center has that great loop video showing ignorant tourists being tossed 10 feet into the air by bison. It's not only the bison, but the moose and the bears, and the hot pools, and just about everything else!
"Death in Yellowstone" is a book every American traveler should read.
well done Noraly.. you dont realise how many people who are stuck at home...trapped through illness work or any other means of entrapment..you bring warmth escape and release through your videography..well done that girl...all the love in the world from Yorkshire UK
Hi Angela, 🙋♀️
You are spot on.
I'm watching from Scotland UK.
It's such a fantastic vlog and brings many people with that exploring curiosity together. 🙏
I really enjoy Noraly's joy and enthusiasm of the scenery and riding in our country. I can't help but feel proud of the beauty that we still have here in the States. I know being an easy coaster who hasn't been out west it's supposed to be beautiful but seeing it through her eyes just makes me want to experience it for myself ( before we screw it all up )
Colorado is amazing, have lived here over 40 years. A trip out here is a must!
I’m a Canadian but I’ve lived in the States at various times and it is indeed America the Beautiful. You should be proud. Never been to Colorado though, it’s on my list.
Eric, you really must go out west. I am in Illinois. I just took a friend out to Arizona, Utah and Colorado. He had never been out west before. He was speechless. That was back in May. That trip is all he talks about now. Please do yourself a favor and travel out west. You will not be disapointed.
Montana, Wyoming, Go West Young Man. It’s beautiful and overwhelming.
Anyone around the world who desires to see the beautiful South West of America, do so now or soon, because The Real Estate Builders and greedy Politicians are chopping down the mountains inch by inch...that's what's happening in California......‼⁉️🇺🇸
👍As always, I'm impressed with your attitude towards main, / paved roads it's a navigation system I use myself. "If one doesn't care where one is. One is never lost". Keep 'em coming.
Dear Noraly. I was introduced to you by my cousin over Easter this year .
I watched every season and have now caught up with you. So much places and experiences you share. It is greatly appreciated!!! Be blessed!
We're excited here in Idaho just to know that Noraly is traveling through a neighboring state.
it's amazing also see a 300cc motorbike handle all this stress and speeding good in every condition, you're showing to motorbike comunity that there's no need for a 1000cc to enjoy a true ride like you! Thanks for this!
You obviously need to check out the guy she spent time with in Moab's channel.
She is light and carries only the necessities. In a recent video she commented on the loss of performance due to the shop not having the right parts. It's a fine line and many choose to have passing and interstate speed instead of a more off road machine
Noraly's enthusiasm is so contagious. And she's so overjoyed at new little or big things she sees.
Like you, the 1st time my wife and I went out west touring on our bike, we found Montana, Colorado, Utah to have some the most beautiful scenery we ever experienced. Enjoy our awesome Country that so many take for Granted...
19:45 - that little laugh of excitement that you found 100km of dirt road. This is why I love your attitude towards the journey and this series!
Truly compelling viewing. I have been with you since you started out in India and look forward so much to every episode. Words cannot express how thankful we are for you sharing your journey. Alan.
I used to think my European bike tours were long 🤣 Wow, your adventures are something else. Absolute respect for the stamina - you don’t seem to get rider fatigue. 👍👍
i love this so much i wish i could go to America too,its so beautiful,lots of greetings from Switzerland🌸🌸🌻🌸
Hopp Schweiz! Alles Gute! Wir willkommen alle die Leute von der Schweiz hier im Amerika! Bitte mache eine Reise hier!
You sound as excited as my wife and myself, when we saw Bison in the wild. We visited Steamboat Springs one winter and saw them travelling back to the airport. I envy you travelling the route by bike. Looking forward to more episodes. Ride safe.
Best motorcycle travel channel on RUclips!!! I know you’re long gone, but there are some amazing places in Wyoming to visit that hardly anybody knows about that I could have pointed out. The region is a very diverse place with many different ecosystems; from deserts to alpine meadows! I hope you enjoyed your time in our area and please come back and explore more!!
I am a native Texan but, have been coming to Wyoming since '82. My buddy has a cabin on the N. Platte between Saratoga and Rawlins. Wyoming is a great state. I love it that people pass it by.
@@jamesspalten5977 It really does benefit from people just wanting to go to Yellowstone or the Devils Tower. I spend most of my time @ Rock Springs and Kemmerer, but I should explore a little more further east up by Rawlings. I do drive through there when heading up to Eastern Montana, but I’ve never spent time mooning around.
Construction guy: They're planning to blow up a really big boulder.
Itchy Boots: Oooh REALLY!? I must see that! 😁
I worked on a dynamite crew. It is worth seeing but, probably not as exciting as you might think, safety first these days.
I was waiting for her to ask the guy if she could watch the boulder explosion.
Common to have boulders too large to move, roll onto mountain roads; you have to dynamite to get either through or around.
I was waiting for her to ask the guy if she could ride around or over it with her motorcycle! :)
@@mracer8 she did she asked if she could go around 😂
The mailboxes are pretty common in more remote areas. Saves time for the carrier. Love your excitement over the 🦬! Safe travels!
I always thought the United States, desert or snow, I've never seen such a beautiful sight , I'm not talking about the city, but like forests, lakes and rivers 🤓
It's a country blessed with incredible scenery
The dirt road you were on after leaving RMNP is 10 minutes from my house in Loveland. I ride that area often. So cool to see you experience the Beauty Colorado has to offer. There’s so much to see here by Motorcycle. You definitely have to ride through RMNP on Trailridge Road, it’s Breathtaking!!! Have the best time on your adventure. Be safe…
Absolutely loving all this high altitude, snowy, Rocky Mountain adventuring!
You are showing us Americans our own country, and we’re loving it.
The Rocky Mountains are a treasure that will be here long after all of us have gone on.
Onward
The USA that I know. It's so nice that you're meeting some wonderful people in America. I'm from Canada and have always known most Americans to be very nice and helpful. You're such a lovely and inspiring person yourself and love attracts love I guess. Signed: a relatively new huge fan
Just here to express my thanks for this series. I've traveled through Wyoming hundreds of times but seeing it through your eyes was amazing and so contagious.
It's really doing in my limited brain cells, a Nederlander in Nederland in America. you can't make this stuff up, hilarious.
You're amazing Noraly.
So, you are in Colorado and there is a boulder, has there not always been a Boulder in Colorada? Is this the boulder and they will possibly blow it up, that's not good.
Whenever you read the comments it's amazing how many lives your journey has touched! I add my thanks as well! Sad you were only in Colorado three days.
Watching again from Colorado
I love your innocence to the beauties we have here in the American West and frankly everywhere here in America that most people take for granted. Thank you for spotlighting it through your videos. Happy trails!
The "Great Divide" is commonly referred to as the Continental Divide. Although you have travelled farther north by now, there is an interesting feature in Yellowstone
National Park called The "parting of the waters" where a south flowing creek splits and one branch flows to the west and one to the east.
Reminds me of this place I found in the woods where one creek crossed another without joining. First and last time I've seen that. Woody debris and rocks bridged the other creek and they crossed each other and continued independently.
The Continental Divide also splits in south-central Wyoming where it forms a sub-basin of the Greater Green River Basin, aptly named the Great Divide Basin. The Great Divide Basin drains internally making it endorheic.
Noraly, you always manage to find amazing trails & beautiful scenery, even while taking detours!
USA's geographic diversity is truly amazing !
Although my journey hasn't been as perilous as Noraly's, I'm finally here after more than a month 😁 finally catch up on this season's episodes
What you've seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg Noraly. So many beautiful things and scenery yet to come. Ride safe, thinking of you.
“Well, the weather has changed drastically overnight, all the snow has melted.” AKA= “Welcome to Colorado.”
I'm thoroughly enjoying the Colorado rides, my my, what a beautiful state. The scenery and landscape snow trees mountains and everything in between. Those people living there are blessed!!!
Until you hit the front range towns and realize just how bad our homeless and drug issues are.
@@EXccord Is it? Are is it about the labels we choose to use for them?
@@EXccord those exist in most every town of any size, anywhere.
@@EXccord She always checks information before going somewhere, you don't have to worry about that, watch her previous episodes in the south and you will understand!
Yes, I live along the front range in Colorado and have for 40 years. The state is very beautiful and I am very glad I moved here at age 30.
It's always a treat to see an Itchy Boots notification! Hope you are having a wonderful time in the USA! Thank you for your wonderful adventures! Much love to everyone and their families from Alton Missouri USA 💪 🌻 🤠 🙏
Now you're bringing back memories of when I traveled these areas back in the 80s.
I’m loving watch this part of USA! So pretty, natural , picturesque, it’s gorgeous…. Thanks Noraly to giving us this opportunity to watch this.
Imagine when the first Europeans came to the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountain areas there were MILLIONS of Bison roaming the West. Imagine if they had those numbers today. You would have to wait days for a herd to cross the highway.
Noraly is seeing things in the States I have always wanted to see. I've seen a lot, just haven't been able to go in that direction. Safe travels Noraly, Keep your nose to the wind and your eyes along the skyline.
Bison originally roamed as far east as New England.
Great video Noraly!! I love how the sky changes color, from dark blue to an almost turquoise color. My spirit is filled. Thanks!
Your joy and excitement remind me of Christmas mornings when I was a kid. In addition, it takes me to a much more easy way of life. Each time I visit family in Colorado, I feel the same as you are expressing. It makes me realize just how small I am in the universe. Thank you for allowing us to ride along with you!
I adore you with your beautiful outlook on your journey! The scenery alone is worth the viewing and then your kind soul explaining your routes and challenges. I look forward too your next video always in the highest anticipation. Thankyou for sharing your adventures it is a true pleasure!
It's amazing how you can make our country which is in disarray at the moment look so peaceful, charming, and loving. Goes to show that good vibes attract good vibes! Thank you for the amazing content! The US tour so far has been eye-opening and breathtaking, I can't believe how beautiful Colorado is!
I quit my office job and started driving OTR trucking and it is not like all the news channels reporting, most of the place and people are so nice and I love this country than any other place in the world. And I am an immigrant who worked and lived in many other countries and always prefer this country than any other place in the world
Your channel is so much fun, Itchy Boots! All these amazing videos and this lively comment section! Sometimes i loose myself just watching and checking comments for hours. Creators like you make RUclips an amazing place, i think!
Always love to travel throughout Wyoming--you can see forever!
I wish discovery Channel or the travel Channel would place you show for every one to see..great job and thank you for sharing your adventures 😉
Колорадо - какое суровое место! И снег, и холод, и пожары... И люди, живущие там самые лучшие - с характером(в хорошем смысле). И Голландец, действительно молодец!
Excellent video of the countryside! I noticed your limp though...and truly hope your ankle continues to heal quickly! Thanks for the content Noraly!
I love your joy at seeing bison for the first time!! What a cool experience!
This is the magic...... no deadline......okay detour..... allways smiling. I allways enjoy your drone views. Keep going and ride safe
It's not sad to see burned forest, it is a critical part of the natural cycle. The aspen groves you have been admiring during recent episodes are a result of fires that occurred in the past. Now, seeing someone's home burned is very sad indeed. Love your channel!
Thank you for stating that. Fire is natures way of restarting life. Not enough humans know that it is a necessary fact of life for nature
Seen plenty of green mountains become barren wastelands forever because of repeated fires. The sight is indeed devastating thinking of all the beauty there once was. It's not as simple as you state it. Those places in the video won't be green again for at least 10 years.
@@CptAngelKGaming this planet has been here for billions of years. Just because you wont see the the new becoming doesnt mean it isnt happening.
@@CptAngelKGaming then clean your fkn forest of dead and downed trees. Controlled burns are a thing where I live. We also don't have drug addicts setting forests on fire.
I find it very sad to see what is happening in the western United States and Canada as more and hotter fires consume a historically unprecedented expanse of forests and even the majestic saguaros here in the deserts of Arizona where those plants are not fire adapted. Drought, rising temperatures, and the infestation of opportunistic insects have weakened trees and the resilience of entire ecosystems so much that the relatively predictable cycle of burning and regrowth is no longer a given. The consequences of these hotter fires is becoming evermore apparent as nearby cities and communities are forced to contend with the resulting erosion and flooding. Further away from home, even Arctic permafrost is thawing and burning and blanketing Siberian cities and villages in smoke.
Omg yo everywhere you go and look at are potential windows wallpapers!!! So beautiful! Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures in this series!!! Love from Singapore.
I loved seeing this episode Noraly. Having been a student in Boulder Colorado from 1987 to 1989 have visited Netherland CO many times by motorbike, ring up the Boulder canyon. Being from Norway I also got to meet the "famous frozen guy" s grandson. He is really a colorful character. Too bad the pass through Rocky mountain national park was closed. It is a great ride through there.
All I can say is you put the biggest smile on my face and I can't stop smiling. Your bubbling joy is so contagious.
Wow, what a great ride for you Noraly with the good dirt roads, fantastic scenery and all those bison. Then the nice conversation with the lady at the saloon was the icing on the cake. Love from Tennessee.
Very refreshing to see your observations! As this area is basically our backyard; we gain a new appreciation of it!
One word. Respect.
When this girl is done with her travels she has to appear on the Tonight Show on NBC. See I love quiet bikes we don't disturb wildlife. Your cinematography is outstanding
Noralt, you could make the most mundane seem wonderful! So when you are faced with beauty and bison, you just explode with enthusiasm!!! Love it!! I've never been to these places before, but I'm sure enjoying being there with you.
J'ai vu beaucoup de vidéos de cette courageuse femme et je suis étonné de toutes les exploits qu'elle peut accomplir..Est tout simplement incroyable !!
If you encounter any Bison close up and personal, try hard to keep some distance between you and them. You mentioned Yellowstone and there are huge herds of them there. They are unpredictable and surprisingly quick for a beast that size. The only clue of impending trouble from one is the tail arching upwards into a crescent shape. Look out if you ever see one do that.
and baby bisons I reckon🙂🦬
They can and do. Wreck cars. Elk and Moose also. Deer are skittish. And are afraid of people. The others aren't. On a motorcycle be aware of deer. If they are on the road , cover brake and go behind them . I have been a driver in all those areas. And motorcycles full time. Some areas. Even I have deer on the road every morning .
At 10:00 there is a sawhorse fence thing. I smacked that with the RV trying to do a u-turn earlier this year trying to go the same route to get across the park. Tore off my grab handle on the passenger side. It had to have been within a couple days of Noraly being there! Now my wife and I know why the road was closed, not just snow but a big rock. Small world.
The letter boxes are usually at the end of a side road, particularly one that is a dead end. Saves the post service guy having to double back. Its fairly common in the remote areas in NZ. I used to have eight outside my school and the kids would take the mail home.
